This document discusses the nature and examples of various non-communicable diseases including allergies, asthma, cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, and kidney failure. It provides details on the causes, symptoms, and in some cases types of each disease. For allergies specifically, it outlines several common types such as hay fever, allergic conjunctivitis, eczema, hives, and anaphylactic shock, and their associated symptoms.
Scleroderma is a group of autoimmune diseases that may result in changes to the skin, blood vessels, muscles, and internal organs.
The disease can be either localized to the skin or involve other organs in addition to the skin.
Symptoms may include areas of thickened skin, stiffness, feeling tired, and poor blood flow to the fingers or toes with cold exposure.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

3. Here are some common Non-
communicable Diseases
• 1. ALLERGY- is a misguided
reaction to foreign substances
by the immune system. The
allergic reaction is misguided in
that these are harmless. The
substances are usually
harmless. The substances that
trigger an allergy are called
allergen. Examples include
pollens, dust, mite, molds,
danders, and certain foods.
4. Example of Allergy
a. Hay fever (allergic rhinitis) is
the most common of the allergic
diseases and is characterized by
seasonal nasal symptoms that
are due to pollens. The most
common sign and symptoms:
▪ Runny nose
▪ Stuffy nose
▪ Sneezing
▪ Nasal itching
▪ Itchy ears and throat
▪ Post nasal drip (throat clearing)
5. Example of Allergy
b. Allergic conjunctivitis is the
inflammation of the tissue
layers(membranes) that cover the
surface of the eyeball and the
undersurface of the eyelid. The most
common sign and symptoms:
▪ Redness under the lids and the eyes
▪ Watery, itchy eyes
▪ Swelling of the membranes
6. Example of Allergy
c. Allergic eczema is an allergic rash that
is usually caused by skin contact with an
allergen and features the following signs:
▪ Itching, redness and or dryness of the
skin
▪ Rash on the face, especially among
children
▪ Rash around the eyes, in the elbow
7. Example of Allergy
d. Hives (urticaria) are skin
reactions that appear as itchy,
swellings and can occur on
any part of the body. Signs
and symptoms
▪ Raised red welts or swollen
mark
▪ Intense itching
8. Example of Allergy
e. Allergic shock or (anaphylactic
shock) is a life-threatening reactions that
can affect a number of organs at the same
time. It typically occurs when the allergen
is eaten example, foods or injected, for
example, a bee sting) Signs and
symptoms:
▪ Hives or reddish discoloration of the skin
▪ Nasal congestion
▪ Swelling of the throat
▪ Stomach pain, nausea, vomiting
▪ Shortness of breath, wheezing
▪ Low blood pressure
9. NATURE OF NON-COMMUNICABLE DISEASES (NCD)
2. ASTHMA- is a chronic lung
disorder that causes airways to
become inflamed, which means
that they swell and produce lots
of thick mucus. Sign and
symptoms:
▪ Shortness of breath
▪ Wheezing
▪ Coughing
▪ Chest tightness
11. Example of
Cardiovascular Disease
a. HEART (CARDIO) DISEASES
▪ Congenital heart disease- is the abnormality in the heart
structure
▪ Congestive heart failure- is an abnormality in the heart to
keep up with the demands on it
▪ Arrhythmia- a condition in which the heart beats with an
irregular or abnormal rhythym
▪ Rheumatic heart disease- active or inactive heart disease
that results from rheumatic fever.
▪ Myocardial infraction(heart attack) occurs when the heart
muscle tissue dies from lack of oxygen because of reduced
blood flow.
12. Example of Cardiovascular Disease
a. VASCULAR (blood vessel) DISEASE
▪ Arteriosclerosis is a group of vascular
diseases characterized by thickening and
loss of elasticity of arterial walls.
▪ Hypertension or high blood pressure
occurs when blood pressure is higher than
normal.
▪ Stroke occurs when a clot blocks a small
blood vessel in the brain, thus brain cells
die from lack of oxygen.
▪ Aneurysm is an excessive localized
enlargement of an artery caused by a
weakening of the artery wall
13. NATURE OF NON-COMMUNICABLE
DISEASES (NCD)
4. CANCER is caused by abnormal cells growing without control. As these
abnormal cells grow, they form into masses called tumors. It can be benign or
malignant.
a. BENIGN- masses of cells that are not cancerous and do not spread
b. MALIGNANT –masses of cells that are cancerous. Most common cancer:
1. Skin
2. Colon and Rectum
3. Lungs
4. Breast
5. Reproductive Organ
6. Bone Marrow (leukemia and lymphoma
14. Signs and symptoms:
C- hange in bowel or bladder habits
A-Sore that does not heal
U-nusual bleeding or discharge
T- hickening or lump in breast or elsewhere
I- ndigestion or difficulty in swallowing
O-bvious change in wart or mole
N-aging cough or horseness
U-nexplained weight loss
P- resistant hoarseness Cancer maybe diagnosed in different ways:
15. WAYS IN DIAGNOSING
Biopsy- the Doctors may take a piece of tissue
▪ Curettage- a tissue from within the body is removed
▪ X-ray- a quick painless test that produces an image of the structures
inside your body Treatment of Cancer:
▪ Surgery- the involves removal of tumor and repair of the affected organ
▪ Radiation Therapy- this involves attacking the cancer cells with x-rays.
▪ Drug therapy or Chemotherapy- this has become an increasingly important
method of cancer treatment.
16. NATURE OF NON-
COMMUNICABLE DISEASES (NCD)
5. DIABETES- is a disease that prevents the body from
converting food into energy.
Types of Diabetes
▪ Type I diabetes is the result of little or no insulin produced
by the pancreas.
▪ Type II diabetes- is the result of too little insulin produced
by the pancreas or failure of the insulin to function normally.
Signs and Symptoms
▪ Excessive Urination (Polyuria)
▪ Excessive Thirst (Polydipsia)
▪ Excessive Hunger (Polyphagia)
17. NATURE OF NON-COMMUNICABLE
DISEASES (NCD)
6. ARTHRITIS- refers to the
inflammation of joints. It usually
occurs during old age.
▪ Rheumatoid arthritis causes pain
and swelling in many joints
throughout the body
▪ Osteoarthritis is a disease of older
people
18. NATURE OF NON-
COMMUNICABLE
DISEASES (NCD)
7. KIDNEY OR RENAL
FAILURE is a medical
condition in which the
